I started practicing Kajukenbo under Sifu Sixto Mendez who was recognized in 2016 grandmaster of the year and part of the Martial Arts Hall of Fame. I learned the discipline and dedication that change my way of life. Kajukenbo gave me the opportunity to found a new inspiration which was Mark Dacascos famous for the Movie Only the strong which led me into practicing with one of my best friends almost all the choreography and dialogues of the movie. Inspire by Jackie Chan movies and the story of China's famous hero Won Fei hung I started practicing Siu Lum Kung-Fu and Hung Gar under Sifu David Gonzalez. While in college and practicing Kung-fu I became part of the judo and wrestling Team winning several medals.

My passion for not only martial arts but arts, in general, lead me to seek a master degree in digital arts. Inspire by movies like Star Wars, Goonies, Indiana Jones, The Labyrinth, Neverending Story, The Matrix, Harry Potter and many more movies and TV series like Fringe, I started learning more of the technical part behind filming and movies which later help me in combining both to create experiences through choreography and fight choreography base on storytelling.
